Armenia is described as a country that held parliamentary elections on June 7, resulting in three main political forces entering parliament: 'Civil Contract' (led by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan), 'Strong Armenia' block (led by Samvel Karapetyan), and the 'Armenia' bloc (led by former president Robert Kocharyan). Several opposition parties, including 'Prosperous Armenia', 'Wings of Unity', and others, challenged the election results, alleging fraud and filing lawsuits to annul the outcomes. The Constitutional Court began reviewing these appeals starting June 26.
